Why primary data is more real than secondary data?

In: Jobs & Education [Edit categories]

Answer:

Depends what you mean by 'more real'? Primary data will be conducted for the exact means of your study so is likely to have a greater degree of validity than any secondary data you might use. Chances are it will also be more up to date too. Data gathered years previously is less likely to provide reliable answers to the questions you data needs to answer
